Item description from seller

Cambridge Univ. Press (and simultaneously with a Parisian publisher), 1982. Scholarly hardcover, 9-1/4 inches tall, xxvii + 351 pages including indexes and glossary, illustrated with a few figures, no dust jacket. This copy in good or better condition. It is an ex-college library book, but it looks only lightly used. Text is clean and free of markings such as underlining and marginal notes. No stains or tears. Firm binding, no loose pages. Again, book has hardly any wear. It is in a way a companion volume to Doubt and Dogmatism (on the epistemology of the Hellenistic schools), for the papers in this book were delivered at a conference in Paris following up an earlier conference at Oxford [proceedings published as Doubt and Dogmatism]. Doubt and Dogmatism is something of a classic work on epistemology, especially skepticism. But this book focuses more on science. More info/photo on request.

Store description

I started selling books online around 1997-8, first on Bibliofind and then on Amazon. In my youth, I worked for a college textbook store and later at a university library. So I'm no stranger to scholarly books. Although semi-retired now, I still collect books and currently list for sale items no longer wanted in my personal library. Thus I do not have a large inventory as I am working from home. Still, I have an eclectic collection as befits a former librarian. My stock includes textbooks and scholarly books, with an emphasis on history, philosophy, and religion. My approval rating when I was with Amazon was 99% (2 were neutral). I'll try to accommodate any reasonable request.…
